Pinterest Inspired - Candlesticks

 

 


 
With the start of June, I changed some decor around the house to give things a summer feel. One of the items I like to change with the seasons are these candlesticks that sit on the coffee table in my great room. It all started when I saw an interesting way to use candlesticks and pinned the idea here. I have a lot a of candles, but what a fun and different way to add some interest and height to a table.
 
For the summer, I am using preserved boxwood balls on the candlesticks. I like the natural element and color.
 
 

In the winter, I used these sparkly green modern pine cone shapes. They went well with my Christmas decor and were a bit unexpected.

And, perhaps my favorite and directly from the inspiration, are the textured pumpkins I used in the fall.

My decor may be somewhat traditional, but it is always the unexpected, whimsical or seasonal touches that add interest to a room.

Happy Wednesday!

  6. I do the same thing, Vicki. I bought 2 "greenery balls" at the dollar store and they are on top of some candlesticks on the mantel. I don't do beachy - it wouldn't work for our Canadian climate. But greenery in the house for summer does work nicely.

  9. I adore every single idea! I had never used candlesticks for anything other than their intended use until I started blogging and got hooked on Pinterest. Who knew there could be so many more things to do with those simple little pedestals!
